Any fishkeepers here? Saltwater or freshwater

My daughter's yoyo loach isn't interested at snails at all anymore. She added 2 more loaches (not specifically for snail control, thankfully) but they are Kuhli's and they don't touch snails.



The problem is with the plastic bottle method is that it simply won't work in a small tank - there's nowhere to put one in my daughter's 14G tank.

My salt shaker trap I made is much, much smaller. The most snails I've captured at once with it is about 30.

I didn't realize snails could be sterile. hmm
Your salt shaker trap is a good innovation for a smaller tank. You seem to be pretty good at home-made equipment that actually works!
